This Australia Luxury Vacations: Unique Resorts Package is the ultimate Australian getaway. We planned this trip for a couple from Chicago who wanted to see the highlights while indulging in amazing experiences in beautiful lodges and beach resorts.

They began their Australia Luxury Vacations: Unique Resorts Package at qualia, an otherworldly resort located on the Great Barrier Reef itself. Here, everything has been meticulously considered so it relaxes the mind, yet completely spoils the senses. They enjoyed 4 fabulous nights at qualia, snorkeling in the reef, pampering themselves at the spa, and lounging on exclusive beaches. They even took a helicopter trip over the Great Barrier Reef to see this natural wonder from a unique, bird’s-eye view.

Next, they traveled to Sydney, staying in the Shangri-La Sydney with incredible views of the Opera House right from their room. They had 4 nights to explore the food, shopping, nightlife, and attractions of Sydney completely at leisure. Then, they journeyed to Kangaroo Island and their unique accommodations at Southern Ocean Lodge. This luxurious eco-lodge is perfectly in harmony with its rugged coastal surroundings, offering complete immersion into the stunning scenery of Kangaroo Island. They enjoyed up-close wildlife encounters with expert guides from the lodge and spent some time exploring the coastal surrounds on their own.

They finished their Australia Luxury Vacations: Unique Resorts Package at The Louise, a delightful luxury lodge in the Barossa Valley wine country. They spent their last 2 nights relaxing, taking in views of the sunny vineyards from their private terrace, wine tasting at world-famous wineries, wandering the beautiful grounds, and enjoying culinary delights at Appellation, The Louise’s innovative gourmet restaurant.

After 2 weeks seeing the best Australia has to offer and discovering the country’s most incredible luxury lodges, their Australian vacation came to an end. They were transferred to the Adelaide airport to begin their onward journey home.
